His Verdict

If I was picking two right midfielders I would take Walcott first and then it all depends on if Lennon is fit whether you would take him or Wright-Phillips.

If they are both fit and both playing well I would take Lennon alongside Walcott.

Theres a mention of AJ in this aswell, but who agrees with his verdict? He would take Walcott first.

I dont agree with him

Even wenger would disagree with him.
 
Provided Lennon is fit, what has Walcott done to justify being selected ahead of him?

Given AJ can play both wings, he'd be a shoe in for me.
 
I'd rather take the injured Beckham than Walcott, I don't rate him at all!
he does jack shit in the defensive side, he creates next to nothing considering how much England attack, he runs down blind alleys and loses the ball, he runs off on his own and doesn't think about what's coming next ie who to pass to, overall I think he's a low Prem Lg level quality player (I think of Richards and Agbomlahor in the same way) with Champions Lg quality pace!

Lennon is the best; when fit he should start on the right! SWP does so much good work defensively he should be in the squad! I think AJ should concentrate on getting into the City side right now, he'll have plenty of Euros and World Cups in the future (but he's still better than Walcott), Milner is good and I think he should go but maybe for the LHS and nit the right!
